Liquid drips out of left nostril

2022-05-19 08:49:12
When I bend forward, a not-very-salty clear water-like liquid has been dripping out my left nostril intermittently for a few days now. I was thinking it was allergy from dust or pollen, but it appears to be a CSF leak. Is there a way to confirm?
